About This Game

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 14 years ago.

CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

I bought this game for the chickens, and was not disappointed. After exploring the countless lands the chickens have traveled far and wide, I realized their population was growing too large. The chickens had started to inhabit such horrid locations across the world, such as nuclear plants, and offices without cafeterias. I knew what had to be done. I bought a flip knife off of the steam market, and called PETA. I listened to In the Arms of an Angel in my Microsoft Professional Deluxe Gaming Chair 360 for about twelve hours with no response, so, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I loaded up de_nuke and started to put the chickens out of their misery. I cried harder that night than I have ever before.

The next morning, with tears in my eyes, I loaded up Counter-Strike: Global Chicken, and I saw a new item waiting in my inventory. My Flip Knife had turned into a Flip Knife Slaughter. At that moment, I realized what a horrible thing I had done. With my hand shaking, I navigated my mouse, and uninstalled Counter-Strike: Global Chicken.

I regret everything I have done. I am writing this review to warn you about the chickens, and to let you know I have made a full recovery, and that I have started my new journey in Goat Simulator. Thank you, and farewell.

Great way to lose all confidence you had in yourself and the confidence in your team, whilst being called a Noob in more languages then you will understand, and be laughed at because you still run default skins.

I was only 12 years old.I loved CS:GO so much.I had all the rare skins.I pray to Gaben every night, hoping I would unbox a knife some day."Gaben is love," I said. "Gaben is life."

My dad overhears me and calls me a hacker.I know he's just jealous that I got recruited into FaZe clan.I call him a hardscoper.

My dad no scopes me and sends me to my room.As I feel my numb face, I turn on my PC and log into Steam.My hands are shivering as I click on the "PLAY" button to open up CS:GO

"I'll show that hardscoper," I said.I open up the Steam Market Place, and purchase 20 Half Life 3 Cases and Keys.

10 minutes have passed by, and I've unboxed 19 Battle-Scarred Negev l Desert Strikes.As I move my cursor over to the final case, I click and select "OPEN".My cursor moves even slower as I move it towards the giant, green "USE KEY" button.

I click the button.As I see all of these weapons fly by, the scroll finally starts slowing down.

"I can't look," I said to myself. "My dad will noscope me when he see's that I've spent six grand on super exclusive and rare Half Life 3 Cases and Keys.

I close my eyes and listen as I hear Gaben laughing over me, as if I am almost certain that I did not get a knife.

I open my eyes.

A large clump of feces leaves my ♥♥♥♥ very quick, as my eyes look at the item I have just been given by the Holy Gaben himself.

Another clump starts sliding out as I stand up to run to my dad to tell him that I've just unboxed a StatTrak Factory New Karambit Fade.

My dad cries as he suddenly gets his Steam account hacked by OpTic.I pull out my new knife and quickscope his face.

I then walk into my room, take my pants off, and thrust my pelvic region into the air, imagining Gaben with me.

If you have friends, this is a great game to play with them.If you don't have any friends, this is a great game to play alone.If you don't have the game to play, get money for it.If you don't have the money for it, get a job.If you don't have a job, rob a bank.If you get arrested robbing the bank, at least you tried.
